lua_gettable

lua_gettable[-1, +1, e]

Pushes onto the stack the value t[k], where t is the value at the given index and k is the value at the top of the stack.

This function pops the key from the stack, pushing the resulting value in its place. As in Lua, this function may trigger a metamethod for the "index" event (see §2.4).

Returns the type of the pushed value.
